Pollock's "art" is generous. The guy splashed random paint around. Buyers would come in and point to the section that "spoke" to them. He'd cut out that section, sign it, and extract thousands from these idiots. Actually, good for him come to think of it.

Idiots, eh? I’m guessing most of those original buyers don’t have a lot of regret for buying something that made them happy.
Ok fine. Happy idiots.
How about happy, wealthy idiots? Any JP piece bought directly early on probably is worth 100x now.
